Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

In the realm of consciousness, Wu Qi had no idea how long he had been walking.

Soon, the uphill road ended, and he knew he had reached the summit.

Looking up now, the sky was no longer as monotonous as before; besides the high-hanging Scepter of Destruction, there was also a vast starry sky.

Looking around, Wu Qi was surprised to find that he was not in a world, but standing on a giant meteorite. The yellow mist around him was not sand or dust, but nebula material.

Fortunately, only his consciousness arrived here; if his true body had come, he would have perished in the starry sky.

Not knowing what would happen next, Wu Qi simply sat down on the spot and quietly watched everything unfold.

Soon, the world around us seemed to be accelerated.

In Wu Qi's eyes, the surrounding nebula matter was flowing at an accelerated rate, like spectacular rivers.

Rivers converge in the same direction, and a new star is rapidly forming.

After an unknown amount of time, the new star was successfully lit up, and the flow of time accelerated again until the star's light became less dazzling and it entered an expansion phase.

Soon, Wu Qi realized something.

As someone who possesses memories of his past life, he clearly knows what will happen next.

Therefore, he wanted to leave this starry sky, but he was moving very slowly, while time around him accelerated again.

Soon after, the nova died completely, its core collapsed, and its outer layers were ejected outwards.

Wu Qi breathed a slight sigh of relief; at least the supernova event hadn't occurred.

Next, new stars were constantly born and died in this starry sky, falling into a cycle.

Wu Qi, unaware of the God of Destruction's intentions, simply watched all of this quietly.

……

A small town within the Star Luo Empire.

Chen Ping's team disguised themselves as an ordinary merchant caravan, entered the town, and rested temporarily.

According to the Spirit Hall's intelligence, Davis will pass through this area soon, and the terrain here is also very suitable for an ambush.

Chen Ping was very resistant to this, and as a result, he was in low spirits.

Wang Tian noticed his condition and sent one of the Soul Saint experts in his team to keep an eye on him.

Davis himself is not strong, and he has not yet reached the Soul Saint level. Even with the addition of his Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Zhu Zhuyun, any Soul Saint in the team could kill him.

Whether Chen Ping is willing to help or not, as long as he doesn't cause trouble, the mission can be completed.

Although he was under surveillance, his personal freedom was not restricted.

During his few days of rest in the town, Chen Ping was not idle. Of course, he did not send a message, but instead surveyed the terrain in the vicinity.

On the other side, a horse-drawn carriage was speeding towards the town.

The people inside the carriage were none other than the Davis couple.

Dai Mubai lacked political acumen and wasn't particularly interested in building his own image.

Davis, on the other hand, received an elite education from a young age and was well aware of the importance of personal reputation.

Not long ago, he personally went to the front line to comfort the soldiers, and also ate and lived with them. He even appeared on the battlefield and fought with the soldiers of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

It can be said that he has already accumulated considerable prestige in the military.

In contrast, Dai Mubai avoided a series of dangerous places and instead focused on improving his own strength.

In contrast, Davis was clearly more popular. This time, Davis represented the Star Luo royal family to negotiate with the Heaven Dou Empire.

Originally, Emperor Xingluo hadn't planned for him to make a move. After all, Davis had been doing too much lately, while Dai Mubai had been nowhere to be seen.

If this continues, Dai Mubai will probably be completely defeated before the two even start their match.

As the emperor, Dai Tianfeng had mastered the art of balancing to an unparalleled degree, and naturally did not want Davis to have absolute power.

Unfortunately, Dai Mubai never showed up, and the Haotian Sect turned a blind eye to the matter.

Under pressure from Davis's supporters in the court, Dai Tianfeng had no choice but to send him to catch up with the delegation.

Since the delegation had set off several days earlier than them, Davis, who was behind, had no choice but to speed up to catch up, which gave the Spirit Hall an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Unfortunately, Davis, inside the carriage, seemed unaware that he was being watched.

"Zhu Yun, don't you think the recent changes in the situation on the mainland seem to be orchestrated by someone behind the scenes?"

Zhu Zhuyun is not a political novice, but rather Davis's capable wife, so she can naturally see the situation clearly.

“Weiss, this is not the case as you think. Many high-ranking officials in the court, and even His Majesty, know that there is something unusual behind this.”

"What's puzzling is why the Heaven Dou royal family would cooperate with the Spirit Hall? On the continent, the three major powers are evenly matched and their relationship is extremely stable."

"Xue Qinghe is no ordinary person, how could he not know that without the Star Luo Empire, he would be the next to disappear!?"

This problem is not complicated.

The fact that the Spirit Hall has not yet made a statement is itself a huge problem. Furthermore, the six major sects that secretly joined the Spirit Hall were among the first to respond to the call of the Heaven Dou Empire.

No one would believe that this wasn't orchestrated by the Spirit Hall.

But who could have imagined that the Heaven Dou royal family had already been possessed by the Spirit Hall?

Without the above conditions, Xue Qinghe's actions would be treason.

However, many wiser people believe that Xue Qinghe's plan is to use one enemy to devour another. Once the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire have fought to the bitter end, they will be the ones to benefit.

Judging from the current situation, the Heavenly Dou Empire doesn't seem to have gained any benefits. This complicates the matter, and no one can see through Xue Qinghe's intentions.

Davis's expression was solemn. "If Xue Qinghe is really that powerful, then even after I inherit the throne, I'm afraid Zhu Yun will not be his match."

No one wants to be the gravedigger of the empire; Davis was no exception, nor was Dai Tianfeng.

In short, Xue Qinghe has now been excessively mythologized within the Xingluo Dynasty.

Even the seasoned Dai Tianfeng had to admit Xue Qinghe's ruthless methods.

Zhu Zhuyun said earnestly, "Wei Si, no matter what methods Dai Mubai uses against you, I will help you."

"After this matter is over, we will go to the mainland to seek opportunities to ensure that our strength is no weaker than Dai Mubai's. However, after you take power, I hope you will let Zhu Qing go."

Davis had already planned for this. He said with a smile, "If I can ascend to the throne, the royal family will definitely change the rules of succession and no longer allow the descendants of the Zhu family to participate. Instead, whoever wins the competition will be able to choose a woman from the Zhu family as empress."

Before Zhu Zhuyun could answer, the carriage suddenly braked, and the two people in the carriage were almost thrown out.

The elderly man driving the carriage said with a grim expression, "Your Highness, the enemy has surrounded us."

Davis dared not be careless.

His supporters warned him repeatedly of the perilous journey ahead when he requested to be sent as an envoy to Tiandou.

Unexpectedly, they were attacked before they even left the territory of the Star Luo Empire.

The Davis couple got out of the car and stood back-to-back with the elderly driver, their eyes warily scanning their surroundings. (End of Chapter)
